Bad for HOeckley.

Mr.. A. H. Hoeckley, city editor of the
Philadelphia Press, who was accused by
the Philadelphia Times Of receiving fifty
dollars week for keeping the Press harm.
less as to the operations Of the gamblers of
theQuaker city, has practically confessed
his guilt. BY the advice Of counsel he has
withdrawn his criminal suit for libel
against the editor and publisher of the
Times, and will rest his vindication on
civil suit for damages. As the latter can.
not, at the earliest, b, tried before Sep.
tember, and may be postponed much be-
yond that time, Mr.. Hoeckley's action in
Withdrawing the criminal suit may be
regarded as putting an end to the defense.
Had the accused been as guiltless as he
declared himself, the criminal suit would
have been his readiest and most effective
mode Of vindication, and its result could
properly have had no prejudice upon the
civil suit for damages to be tried later.
| The abandonment Of the first leaves Mr..
Hoeckley in sorry plight, and it is not
surprising that because of it the Press an
nounces that his relations with that news.

The Rights Of y BIcycler.

Fred Coningsby, was struck without prov.
ocation by Theatrical Manager Morton,
the latter becoming angry while driving at
what he deemed an infringement of b $
rights on the public highway. The case
was compromised by Morton paying the
young man sl25 as salve for his injuries.
The unwisdom of this compromise was
shown in Philadelphia on Monday, when
Rowland Evans, a bicycler, was brutally
struck with whip by Albert CARMEL, a
produce dealer, Evans having done all in
his power to avoid collision and the blow
being given with absolutely no proyoca.

BILL is before the Gsorgis legislature
which deals in a rather curious manner " ith
the educational system of that state 1t pro-
vides that no school or other educational
institution conducted for the education of
colored people shall receive IA pupil any
white person, and that no school or etura-
honsi institution conducted for the education
OF white people shall receive as pupil any
colored person. Any teacher or manager OF
said institutions violating this act shall be
guilty of q misdemeanor, punishable by a
fine not to exceed 81 zoo, Imprisonment not
to exceed six months or work On chain gang
not to exceed twelve months, any or all a,
the discretion OF the court. Boards of trus
tees, presidents and other officers are also
subject to punishment for violation of this
oct
1t is said that this measure Is mined directly
at the work OF the American Missionary
association, which founded the Atlanta
university with Northern capital and " ithout
distinction OF color.
1t is claimed that $3.50, 900 has gone from
the North to this school. The pupils have
been nearly all coloTed, but the children OF
the teachers were obliged to attend the school
because OF the principles of its founding and
the strong local prejudice against their
parents. This association OF races is " hat the
Georgians object to, and as they have granted
$500 year to the institution for education
of colored people, they considered the money
misapplied. But the penalty OF imprisop-
ment or service in the chain gang will surely
not tie considered by the more enlightened
members OF The legislature n ii ting punish.
meDt for men and women OF education and
refinement The institution is founded on
principles of CO. education of the races, and IL
the grant by the state was on conditions at
variance with those principles 1t should not
have been accepted. Nothing can excuse
the barbarity OF this act, and OF course it Is
foredoomed to failure 1t will not do tor the
excitsble New York Tribunc to ily into
rage against the state OF Georgia simply be.

France In War Paint.

France has resolved on the experimerl.
tai mobilization Of her army and is also
reported to he manufacturing, as rapidly
and secretly as possible, a new weapon for
the troops. The mobilization will prob
ably be mere skeleton experiment to test
the capacity of railway systems and the
efficiency of troops and officers, but the
extent of the actual movement will depend
largely upon the aspect Of affairs at the
time.
The republic is evidently determined to
keep steadily on the Iui vive," and she
will certainly be one of the best prepared
nations that ever went to war, 50 far as the
money and vigilance can reach. Whether
she will have good generals, and soldiers
that can cope with the Germans, isanother
matter, and t-naay be that in spite of the
nNufNe and melinite she will find
revenge an expensive luxury.
This new gun is said tO be a wonder in
many ways. 1t puts small steel projectile
through an eight.inch brick wall at five
hundred yards, has no recoil, and uses
powder that makes no smoke. 1t is "a
repeater, using cartridges SO small
that each man can carry $40 rounds of am-
munitiOn. If half of these things are true,
France has gained great advantage.
Each important improvement in the mus
ket has brought victory TO the side first
using it, and if French troops can carry
more ammunition and have less smoke
than the Germans, they will show great
degeneracy or poor leadership if they can
not regain their military prestige. The
penetration of the Sc new rifles is also an
important point, as it blocks the proposed
use of light steel shields by infantry. These
have already been partially introduced
in Sweden, but are not regarded
with much favor because of the weight
added. Give man good entrenchng
tool, aud it is surprising how fast he can
make himself shield of earth when some
one is shooting at him. Herr Krupp, who
has just died, probably contributed as
much as any one man to the defeat of the
French in the last war, and Lebel, the in.
ventOr Of this new rifle, may earn the same
honor from France. Inventors rule nova
days in war as well as in peace.
